36
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 6: I knew that we weren't going to have anything appealing

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 6: that would make Jay Z want to come and accept

38
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 6: his award, because I mean, the thing is is that

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 6: when you're paying tribute to an artist from the fifties,

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,040

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,200

42
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 6: of get somebody to sing.

00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: You know. Last year was like dire Straits and whatever.

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 6: But with hip hop especially, there's just some artists that

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 6: I don't think are coverable or any of those things,

46
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, right, And I knew starting

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 6: this year is.

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Gonna be problematic.

49
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 6: Maybe if Eminem gets in next year, you know, there's

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 6: gotta be someone that that he hasn't burned a bridge

00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 6: with already, Like, so no machine Gun, Kelly.

52
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,880

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that.

54
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 7: I love to see in sync rap eminem lyrics at

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 7: his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

56
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: Induction and.

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 7: Imagine, imagine Lance Bass coming out of the stands. I

58
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 7: won't make that.

59
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: We on that for next year. I would make that happen.

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 6: No, it was just with this year, I knew that

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 6: there's nobody that the Internet or critics or anyone, especially

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 6: with jay Z with deemed satisfactory to do his material.

63
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 6: So I had to wrack my brain out. And the

64
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 6: thing was, I was driving back from Saint Louis. We

65
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 6: had a gig in Saint Louis and we would in

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 6: New York the next day, and I decided, well, I

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 6: got fifteen hours ahead of me. You know, I'm gonna

68
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 6: get in my bag. I'm in, you know, in my

69
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 6: vehicle by myself. He is into Edible. And then Michael K.

70
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 6: Williams passed away. He and that shit fucked like fucked

71
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 6: me up. And then suddenly the rock and roll like

72
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 6: so I was trying to mourn that shit, and then

73
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 6: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame people called, was like,

74
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 6: we got to figure out something in the next ten

75
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 6: hours or as jay Z's not coming, and you know,

76
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 6: I'm already in my bag and shit, you know the

77
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 6: Edibles about to hit it and all that shit. I

78
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 6: was just so messed up that day, and I don't know,

79
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 6: like I was just trying to figure out, like how

80
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,240

81
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,720

00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,000

Speaker 7: gotten our wish list, that ship would be like that

196
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 7: would have wanted, that would have been in the Rock

197
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 7: and Roll Hall of Fame by itself.

198
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: Who else who was on the list that y'a couldn't

199
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 3: get or didn't get?

200
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 6: Well, I mean initially, my my first true yes was

201
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 6: Obama because my thing was like Sewan and I were like,

202
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 6: if Obamas is yes, then.

203
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: Everybody else is going to everybody's up.

204
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 6: And so we just want to Obama to say I

205
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 6: will not lose, and he was about to do it,

206
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 6: and then.

207
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: Like the thing is is always like a circle of twelve.

208
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: That's like, well, you know, there was like was this

209
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: looking presidential?

210
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 6: And Obama you have a deal at Netflix, broke your

211
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 6: content creator.

212
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 7: Now say had I had the previous line before I had,

213
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 7: I had a set up so perfect, bro if he

214
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 7: would have got to that I will not lose.

215
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 6: I will say that you know for me, like Letterman

216
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 6: taking a lot like when it plays CBS. Yes, like

217
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 6: that got such a like let for well, first of all,

218
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 6: we were in Cleveland, so whenever Lebron showed up, that

219
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 6: was a happy moment for them. But I'll say that

220
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 6: Letterman stole the show in that particular setting, in that night,

221
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 6: Kanye would have done it. Like the thing with Kanye

222
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 6: was sort of like he was like, all right, send

223

00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: He was. He was golfing.

231
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 6: I had I had a Jordan plug and we but

232
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 6: there was an important golf game that we couldn't from.

233
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 7: And the crazy, the crazy part is so the crazy

234
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 7: part is like like like I mere said, like once

235
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 7: we got Obama, ain't none of y'all motherfucker's cooler than him.

236
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 7: So anybody that says no, like you ain't cooler than Obama.

237
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 7: So we did have one issue and I ain't gonna

238
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna say the person's name. But our mirror

239
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 7: hits me blindly one day and says, Yo, can you

240
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 7: find a line that goes with this? And I was like,

244
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying, So and so is here. Now

245
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 7: that's the line they want to say. I said, I'm mirrored,

246
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 7: make it up. Shit.

247
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 6: My first day is shooting was like I was trial

248
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 6: by fire because this particular person was like already doing

249
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 6: a long press day for the project that they had

250
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 6: going on. Like that's we had to get in with,

251
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 6: like if someone was doing a press junket somewhere and

252
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 6: then like we sent our crew real quick to get

253
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 6: them to save this one line for five minutes and whatever.

254
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: You know.

255
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 6: So I caught somebody at the end of like a

256
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 6: long press junket day of like seven hours of interviews.

257
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: They want to go home. They happen to have a line.

258
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 6: They happen to have a line that wasn't like everyone

259
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 6: wanted like an impactful line or to know, okay, who

260
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 6: gets this line, who gets the punch? And there's some

261
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 6: lines where you have to set it up so that

262
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 6: you know someone else gets it. Someone has to set

263
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 6: up the alley oop shot and someone shoots it in

264
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 6: and there's just one of these moments where this particular

265
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 6: person had an ali oop shot tossing to someone else

266
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 6: that gets the punch line. So they felt like their

267
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 6: line wasn't cool, so they just decided, well, I'm gonna

268
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 6: I'm gonna do my favorite jay Z line and y'all

269
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 6: y'all could just work with that. And I was like, no,

270
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 6: it doesn't work like that, like you gotta you know.

271

00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 7: no chrome on the wheels. I'm a grown up for real, right,

274
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,520

288
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,000

Speaker 7: tell them Obama already said, because ain't none of y'all.

291
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 6: In fact, I had to do that twice, by the way,

292
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 6: like I learned early not to show anyone in the

293
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 6: entire script.

294
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: For them to say, you know, I want to say.

295
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 7: Allow me to reintroduce myself, I'm like, now you can't.

00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: There's there's two people not talking to me now because.

00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 6: There's two people not to I'll get to me now

298
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 6: because they claim that I under used them. So and

299
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 6: for me, but it was a trial by fire on

300
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 6: what directing is really like.

301
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 7: So for me to do it and then you know,

302
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 7: going back and forth, with our mirror over it, and

303
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 7: we like we were really in the trenches on this ship.

304
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 7: And then October thirty first comes and Hole. It's one

305
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 7: thing to write something, but it's one thing to write

306
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 7: something that I know the person that it's about is

307
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 7: gonna see it firsthand. So when I when I hit him,

310
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 7: I saw Jay's tweet and then I hit our mirror

311
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 7: like yo, how to go? And he was like yo,

Speaker 2: This is the problem now, black man. We have to

540
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: take mental health seriously in this. In a TV show,

541
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 2: they would provide a one eight hundred number because mental

542
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 2: health is serious and those who feel like they need

543
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: to have it, they should find a number because we

544
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: don't have it here.

545
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 7: See, me and Ted got in the same sense, We

546
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 7: got the same sense of humor. So that's a whole

547
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 7: nother number. Like they're gonna have to call another number

548
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 7: for that.

549
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: Because I got jokes for your head so mad? Come on, bro, like,

550
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,199

00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 7: Because you know I got some more. No, no, no, you

556
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 7: know I'm saying, do you have any more?

557
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 6: I cannot officially let you know why I have them all,

558
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 6: But if you can see how my year went last year,

559
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 6: we could pretty much put two and two together about

00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 6: what I'm gonna be doing the next seven years. Let's

Speaker 6: talking about. Like every every regional spot has their own

567
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 6: local dance show, so similar to Philadelphia had Dancing on Air,

568
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 6: which later turning The Dance Party USA, other local shows

569
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 6: have their own like Local Little Dance, after School Dance Jawns.

570
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 6: The Scene is probably the most unique show. If you

00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 6: google the scene right now, just say the scene Detroit,

572
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 6: nineteen eighty something.

573
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: It's it explains a lot. Explains why Dyla is a

574
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: genius because basically electrifying mojo pretty much raised a generation

575
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:58,920

586
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,920

Speaker 9: her makeup and uh she was wrapping whatever you say

629
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 9: off the listening. And I didn't find out about it

630
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 9: until afterwards, and uh, well, my boys hit me and

631
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 9: I was like like what.

632
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: I was like, what the fuck?

633
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 9: And then I saw it on Twitter. So then I

634
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 9: actually saw the video. I was like, oh ship, and

635
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 9: so I just threw it up, you know, retweeted it whatever,

636
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 9: and and I was like, yeah, we're in the racial

637
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 9: chat rooms bumping Little Brother, you know what I mean.

638
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 9: And I knew she would get the joke. Like a

639
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 9: couple of her fans was like, you know, why would

640
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,240

641
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 9: fun I knew she would get the humor, you know

642
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,080

00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 9: Brother fan, you have the ability to laugh at yourself.

644

675
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,560

676
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 2: I'm a fan so.

677
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,080

00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: Like a dope ass episode a Little Dicky, So yeah,

680
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm playing herself.

681
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 7: He's this show is really hilariously and nasty.

682
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 6: Okay, so before we check out, is there any records

683
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 6: that I should be checking for? It's weird, man, Like,

684
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 6: I'm legit. I'm not disappointed. But she and I had

685
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 6: a conversation about it. I really had expectations for Yeba

686
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 6: to really come with the promotion with her record, but

687
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 6: you know, she wasn't wasn't ready yet.

688
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 3: You know, Distance was the one for me on that record.

689
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 3: That was the one. Yeah, I just you played one right,

690
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 3: I played.

691
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: On the whole record. I just wish. I don't know.

692
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 6: It's like I'm now starting to think that every artist

693
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 6: that comes through Electric Ladies Studios why ends up going

694
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 6: through a process that you know means a stalling or whatever,

695
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 6: you know that sort of thing. Basically, the whole point

696
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 6: was that like so many shows are asking for her

697
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 6: to come, and before him, she's like not ready yet,

698
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 6: not ready yet, like in due time and due time,

699
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 6: and it's just like the Salange the records.

700
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, the record's kind of over now.

701
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 6: Like you know, I was, I was expecting her to

702
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 6: drink old Old Girls milkshake. That obviously is going to

703
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 6: dominate the Grammys, you know, next year with her album.

704
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: But you know I I sort of thought this is

705
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: going to happen, but you know.

706
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 2: Hopefully the next record A minute for Jazz and Sullivan though, Yeah,

707
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 2: that was that.

708
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: What's getting all the flowers right now?

709
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: Twenty one.

710
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: As far as the album, I asked you, what album

00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: are you feeling?

712
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: I like to have very few albums you can listen

713
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: through all the way. I mean, even with that Anderson

714
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 2: Bruno Mars, there's like one song. But so I was

Speaker 7: of it. But you might not have been that aware

802
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 7: of the things. Like I give you an example real quick,

803
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 7: Like one of our lessons is we play them the

804
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 7: video for parents just don't Understand, and then we played

805
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 7: them the video for Fuck the Police, and their assignment

806
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 7: is what are the similarities of these two songs? They

807
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 7: automatically think, we're gonna be like, okay, what's the difference

808
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 7: between these two and we go, okay, what are the

809
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 7: similarities between these two songs? And the answers that they

810
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 7: come up with are fucking phenomenal, Like it's it's so

811
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 7: crazy how deep they.

812
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 3: They see it.

813
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 7: They see first the first the first one that the

814
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 7: first one that threw me was they were like, you know,

815
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 7: both of both of these different artists, their reputation is

816
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 7: everything to them, you know what I'm saying, Like their

817
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 7: reputation is everything, and you know, like with Will You Know?

818
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: With Will You Know?

819
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 7: N w A raps about they treat women as gold diggers.

820
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 7: Women's are looked at as gold diggers and that's all

821
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 7: they good for bitches and wholes. Gold is whatever will

822
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 7: got caught up by a gold dick, you know what

823
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 7: I'm saying, Like who happened to be a twelve year

824
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 7: old runaway, like you know what I mean? Like their

825
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 7: their connection is.

826
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: So much more.

827
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 7: I forgot right, And it's like they're both they're both

828
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 7: very fearful of one thing, Like n w A Is

829
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 7: fearful of the cops. Will is fearful of his parents

830
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 7: finding out, like that was his biggest fear. Like when

831
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,959
Speaker 7: my mom and dad get home, this ship is a rap,

832
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,000

835
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 7: those exercises and it usually turns out it gives you

836
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 7: a good gauge of how good the class is going

837
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 7: to be.

838
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,560

Speaker 7: Professor Lewis, Professor Lewis.

840
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 9: Ire is no skills you had mentioned earlier. I just

841
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 9: wanted to touch on it. You were talking about your

842
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 9: parents and you know how they've died from addiction, you know,

843
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 9: thirty years apart.

844
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 3: Knowing that that's in your family history, Like how have

845
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 3: you dealt with that?

846
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 9: And you know, are there any like how knowing that

847
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 9: that's kind of there, like how do you deal with

848
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 9: you know, any potential addictions or has that affected you

849
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 9: in your career in anyway.

850
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 7: I don't. I don't know if it has. Man, Like

851
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 7: I believe I'm addicted to too. I believe a part

852
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 7: of me is addicted to not following in those footsteps,

853
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. So for me, you know,

854
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 7: I understand that sometimes addiction, you know, it can be

855
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 7: a sickness. And you know, when I was young, you know,

856
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 7: I didn't understand why Mama just couldn't quit, like why

857
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 7: you just can't stop? Like I don't want to hear

858
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 7: that shit, like yo, just quit, like you know what

859
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 7: I'm saying. But I didn't understand how long she had

860
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 7: been on drugs and how much you know, she felt

861
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 7: like she needed that drug to even just get up

862
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 7: and function, cook breakfast, take us to school. She was

863
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 7: a very function yet she was a very functioning an addict,

864
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 7: but she was still an addict. So for me, man,

865
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 7: it scared me in a way that I could never

866
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 7: sell drugs. I could, I like, my shit could go

867
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 7: belly up right now and I'll go work at McDonald's

868
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 7: and y'all be like, god damn skills at McDonald's, like

869
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 7: like happily, but happily because I I know I first

870
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 7: hand know what it does to a black family. So

871
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 7: I don't care how bad it gets for me. I

872
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 7: could never go I could never sell drugs like ever.

873
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 7: So I watched, you know, I look back at what

874
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 7: they went through, and uh, just try to make sure

875
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 7: that I don't get addicted to anything. You know what

876
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 7: I'm saying, like sugar shit, you know what I'm saying,

877
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 7: like fucking anything. So yeah, so it's like, you know,

878
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 7: I just I just pay attention to that because they

879
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 7: they didn't they ain't go for nothing, Like I had

880
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 7: to learn from that ship in some degree, you know

881
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 7: what I'm saying.

882
00:44:59,400 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 3: That's real.

883
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. My final question is, you know, besides getting out

884
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:11,919
Speaker 1: of this this dog chasing tail loop that we're in, uh,

885
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: is there anything that we're really trying to achieve for

886
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two? The actually twenty.

887
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 9: Twenty right, even though it's looking like in addition now

888
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 9: two for me, I'm finally we're finally putting the finishing

889
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 9: up the Little Brother documentary. We got awarded, We got

890
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 9: a grant from the Southern Documentary Fund and we were

891
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 9: wanted a finalists that was selected for that. So yeah, man,

892
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 9: finishing that this was harder that's it's the hardest thing

893
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 9: I've ever done.

894
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 3: That go front.

895
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 6: But so that you put out was just a sizzle

896
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 6: real and it's coming.

897
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,439

899
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, man, yeah, so it's yeah, it's that's just gonna

900
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 9: be hard. But nah, just that, man, just for me

901
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 9: twenty two, continuing just to take care of myself, take

Speaker 3: I think that shit might be over with. Yeah, I

909
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: think that's all, you know. I don't know I can

00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 3: do that.

911
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,520
